🔐 The Future of Identity: Wawp Authentication Engine

Welcome to the most advanced WhatsApp-based identity management system. Wawp provides two primary methods to verify your users, both designed for high conversion, security, and developer ease.


🚀 1. WhatsApp OTP (One-Time Password)

The classic, reliable method to verify phone numbers.

  • Best For: Web registrations, app logins, and multi-factor authentication (MFA).
  • How it works: System sends a 6-digit code with a rotating template (Anti-Ban technology).
  • Security: 5-attempt limit and 15-minute lockouts for brute-force protection.

📱 2. Interactive Auth List (Passwordless)

The modern, one-tap verification experience.

  • Best For: High-end user experiences where you want to minimize friction.
  • How it works: Sends a menu with 'Approve' or 'Reject' buttons. User taps, and your system gets the result instantly.
  • Security: Real-time polling with Redis-backed caching for ultra-low latency.

🛡️ Global Security Standards

Anti-Spam Shield (60s Cooldown)

To protect sender reputation and prevent user harassment, our system enforces a strict 60-second cooldown per recipient. This means a user cannot request multiple codes in a single minute.

Universal Authentication

Integrate however you like. All our auth endpoints support:

  1. Bearer Tokens (Headers)
  2. JSON Payloads (POST Body)
  3. Query Parameters (URL)

Engine Awareness

Our system automatically handles the complexities of the underlying WhatsApp engines. Whether you are on GoWS Plus or WAHA, we deliver a standardized JSON experience.


🌍 Global Support

Verify users in 26+ languages with localized templates that feel native to your customers, all powered by our intelligent template rotation engine.

[!TIP] For the best user experience, consider using Auth List for mobile-first applications and OTP as a backup for users with older WhatsApp versions.
